Finally an autoshop with honest mechanics who are good at what they do and arent trying to rob you. Every time I have brought my Subaru in, I have been very happy I did. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone!
Mikes Japanese and Domestic Auto Repair is the place to take your car to be fixed in the Springs. They were extremely understanding of my schedule and took great care of my car and me while I was there. The prices were great and Mike and his partner were very friendly and kind. My car was fixed up in one day, and I have been trying to get it fixed for ages. They were very accommodating and I highly recommend you take your car here if you need any auto repairs for a job well done. I plan on recommending them to all of my friends in the Springs and I would suggest you do the same! Thank you again Mike, you are awesome!!!!! :)
Mike and Austin are amazing guys to deal with. Very very patient and extremely knowledgeable. I have been chasing electrical issues with my vehicle for quite some time, and have even had other shops look at it, with no luck. These guys not only found the issue and fixed it, but they also made it happen a lot sooner than planned. If you need any work done I highly recommend giving this shop an opportunity to take great care of you and your vehicles. You definitely will be pleased with the outcome.
I had heard nothing but amazing things before stopping by to get my brakes serviced by Mike and Austin, and lemme tell you that all these 5 star reviews are the truth! They were nothing short of fantastic and Id recommend them in a heartbeat if anyone was asking where to take their car. Definitely my go to guy from now on.
Austin was aces from start to finish. His communication, timeliness and of course the work he does are just outstanding. He sent me videos of things that are significant and kept me in the loop the entire time. It’s that personalized experience that makes you feel comfortable calling him your mechanic. This is my shop from here on out. Thanks man!-CJ
Had water pump and timing belt done plus general maintenance, they were very timely and were in consistent touch over the phone. Its been a couple of months now and zero issues. Am very pleased with this shop and would recommend.
I called mikes when the previous shop tried to upsell me an engine on my 2016 Subaru WRX. As a former mechanic I was able to at least know that the engine wasnt bad and after talking to Austin he was on the same page as me. After taking my car to multiple shops all trying to upsell a 21 year old that they think has no clue whats going on with cars, and not even coming close to labeling the actual issue, I contacted mikes and talked to Austin. He was extremely professional and kind and didnt make it seem like he was trying to rush me off the phone like some shops. he got every single detail about the car and took it out of my hands. he had it for three days and found the issue and fixed the issue when it wasnt an easy job. He pulled the transition and put it back in and fixed the issue within three days when other shops had the car for weeks. I recommend mikes shop more than any shop in Colorado. this will be the only shop to touch my car from now on. thanks Austin.
I can not thank Mike and Austin enough for their professionalism, integrity, and overall service. They have serviced my car in the past month for different issues and each time they have been flawless. I have been to three mechanics and left each one due to their inconsistencies. I now have a new home. Thank you!
My Kia needed to be seen like right now, and Paul & Daniel got me in, fixed up, and out within a couple of hours. Not to mention it didnt cost me an arm and leg!! Thank you so much you two!! Id recommend you guys in a heartbeat!
I actually run a shop in Denver but I tell all my friends and family in the springs to come here for car diag and repair. Austin and his dad are amazing people and I wouldn’t trust anyone else in town to be honest with great experience working on all cars, especially Subies!
Mike and Austin treat their customers like family and I was blown away by their service and kindness. I cannot recommend them enough!
Harper Family is so grateful to Austin at Mikes Japanese & Domestic Auto Repair. So professional and honest...Tweaked and resolved our DIY issue in a few hours. Customers for life! Hands down the best auto mechanic experience weve ever had in COS, residents here over 20 yrs.
A great auto shop with good and honest workers.
Only mechanic Ill trust in the Springs! They are honest and reliable!
Tested possible short.. discovered only bad battery. Honest and didnt even charge.Cool folks.
Mike and Austin are Amazing!! Austin rebuilt my 2.0L 05 WRX in 2 steps. 1 rebuild stock for break in. 2 upgraded Up-pipe, Downpipe, TGV deletes, Fuel Pump and 1050cc injectors and helped get it to Under Pressure Performance for a ecu tune (by Dez). Stock turbo running E-85 made smooth band 282.6 WHP (and a solid 280.6 Torque). I love my daily driver, thanks to these hard working and knowledgeable guys! I followed the break-in guidelines to a T and have a great running car!
Called in an arranged a free inspection of an engine issue. In a few hours they had the solution in hand. I okayed the repair for a great price. They were super friendly and made sure I walked away happy. It is a rare feeling to walk out of an auto shop knowing you didnt get ripped off. Great shop for Subaru repairs!
Mike and Austin are extremely courteous and professional. I read a review about someone taking their car to the dealer to which they recommended a complete engine reseal. I had the same issue (oil leak) and recommendation from the dealer, but decided to take it to Mikes. Turns out I had the same issue as the reviewer and all I needed was a head gasket which saved me a few thousand dollars 😎I took my car back to have a lift kit installed and was pleased with the work and I feel the price was more than fair. Highly recommend them to anyone who needs an honest mechanic!
Mike & Austin are the BEST of the Springs! As a woman, finding a great mechanic is as difficult as finding a great hair stylist. Rest assured ... You will never find a more reliable, honest, knowledgeable, & economical shop anywhere in town. With Mike’s, the customer is first! Super-friendly family-owned business & the best mechanics I have EVER found!
So happy to find a good and honest mechanic! I will never take my car anywhere else! Thank you Mike and Austin!!
Its the only shop in town that Ill use for repairs and maintenance. First off, customer service is top notch as they are honest and professional. Secondly, their hourly shop rate is bit higher than others, but you seriously do pay for their quality and workmanship. Every time that Ive taken a car there, everything was good to go,and Ive never had issues. Theyre timely, professional, and offer great value.
These guys did an absolutely fantastic job on a short block changeout on my Impreza. They had the engine replaced in under 36 hours. I will be going to them for every automotive need in the future as it is hard to find a mechanic that one can trust and do a job right the first time.
I decided to go to Mike’s because one of my coworkers referred them to me. It was nice to go somewhere with great and timely service. Most auto shops try to upsell me on things I don’t need. They did not try to upsell me at Mike’s. Overall one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.
Great work, good people. Price was very reasonable as well.
Great customer service. Repairs to my vehicle were completed in a timely manner and as promised. They take pride in their work. Will definitely continue to rely on them to keep my vehicles running well.
Amazing service! They do not charge you if they do not fix anything. They just looked at my car and told me what I needed to do to fix it! We need more places like this!
Honest and quick service
Mike and Austin are the only people I trust to work on my cars in the Springs. They do wonderful work and are always super friendly and honest! Mike recently got my old f150 running again, and I am so thankful that he refused to give up on the project! These guys are the BEST!
Mike and Austin are the best mechanics in town. Fantastic and honest service. Would give 6 stars if I could.
First of all: Mike is super cool. Easy to talk to, knows his stuff like crazy AND can tell you all about it without making you feel intimidated. Which I super appreciate. They always surprise me with how quickly they finish my car and its the most quality work with the absolute best price in town. Im not even kidding when I say I wont ever go anywhere else. I will always recommend Mikes to any and everyone who asks for a perfect shop. Thank you guys so much!
Mike and Austin are awesome. You would be hard pressed to find any other place in town that even comes close to the quality of work, customer service and friendliness, honesty about what you need serviced, and especially low prices for labor. I had already called several other places for pricing and immediately made an appointment with Mike after getting a much lower price quote from him and hearing how much knowledge these guys had. This is my go-to shop as long as theyre open.
Best mechanics you can find in town. VERY honest people. I have been to these guys several times and will continue to go back. I have gone in to get maintenance done, and they have saved my old parts and showed me exactly what was wrong with it. Often gone to have them look at something and they havent charged me anything. Prices are reasonable and affordable. If youre looking for a mechanic they come highly recommended from me.
Honest. Experienced. Customer friendly. I had to find a mechanic in the area. I used to do all my own work, but I lack the proper resources currently. I took a chance on Mikes And I was not disappointed. Mike has been here over 30 years. The father-son team means decades of life experience working to resolve your mechanical issues. You wont find an in experienced rookie, freshly graduated from tech school, working on your car or truck. I asked for a quote on new tires while the truck was in the shop for something else. Instead of selling me tires I didnt need, Mike the tires were fine and not to waste time and money replacing them. This place exemplifies honesty, experience and customer service. I am looking forward to a lasting relationship with this shop.
I contacted Mikes Japanese Auto when my wife’s car started having some major issues and she was driving a great distance to work each day. Mike and Austin were great and got the car in same day, diagnosed the issue immediately and the price for labor and parts was Very reasonable. Extremely professional and car was done within 24 hrs. I would recommend them highly and will continue taking our car there.
Professional, knowledgeable, and personable, love these guys. Ive been going here for years, Mike and Austin always take care of my ride, my go to shop. Easy 5 stars
Being a relatively new to Colorado, Mike’s was recommended to me by a long time friend and fellow transplant. Austin and Mike make a great team. Austin quickly diagnosed my car and came up with alternative courses of action to get them fixed based on my budget. They are super informative and explain exactly what is going on and how to resolve the issue. They don’t try to sell you anything you don’t need and have very competitive pricing. If you’re like myself, having car troubles and new to COS give them a call!
These guys are the best in the business. They are straight forward, honest, and helpful. You want the right service at the right price, you must go see these guys. They helped to save me thousands when a different mechanic shop told me I need something that I did not. They are a smaller shop and everybody loves using them, so you need to exact some patience when trying to get in.
Austin is honest and will treat you fairly!
Great service for a good price. Complete builds down to changing spark plugs. Knowledgeable and fast
I was more than impressed with the service and friendly staff upon this mechanic shop. A major shout out to Austin Schimmel and his ability to bring your vision of your car to life. I placed lambo doors on my Corolla, a seriously odd job that was professionally done with great detail and quickness. I would and will be going back to this establishment in the future.
A good old-fashioned honest auto repair shop. I recommend them highly.
Mikes is an absolutely awesome place. I first went there to get my timing belt done after seeing all the great reviews and pictures of their shop car and work they have done. They got it done fast and painless and didn’t try to sell me on other things that weren’t related. About a month or two ago my automatic trans blew in my 02 wrx. Austin was extremely helpful in helping me figure out wether I wanted to rebuild the junk auto or swap for a manual. After deciding to swap for a manual Austin was also really helpful in finding the parts and getting me a quote on labor that wasn’t expensive at all for how much work it was. I dropped the car off and everything went near perfect with some hiccups that austin was quick to let me know about (my cars fault) and I got the car back in 3 days. These guys are legit honest mechanics and I strongly recommend going here if you have any type of problems with your car, or just need normal maintenance done. I’ll definitely be bringing my car back whenever the time comes for other types of work that i’m not competent enough to do.
Both Mike and Austin both gave me the best experience Ive ever had with and mechanic/shop. I had a very unfortunate problem occur with my previous engine block and a few other things and Austin got me set up with a new closed-deck block and its running perfectly. Id STRONGLY recommend them to anyone looking for an honest shop.
These guys know how to treat you right. Great prices on everything. “Pep boys do everything for less” ya right.
Exceptionally knowledgeable and courteous staff. Great pricing with full transparency in costs.
The only place I trust to take my Subaru. They’re fast, experienced, affordable, family owned and take the time to give you an in depth explanation of what they are doing. Will always recommend to my fellow Subaru drivers!
The only thing you need to know about this place is that its the place to go, look at my reviews im mercilessly harsh to the point and i give no padded reviews. These guys are honest, reliable, family owned..dont go anywhere else. Dont do that to yourself or your car. Best place in the springs hands down.-Captain Obvious.
Ive had several vehicles repaired at Mikes. Mike and his employee, Austin, are honest, knowledgeable, and courteous. Their services are reasonably priced. Well worth the drive down to get my vehicles serviced by these two professional mechanics.
Mike has worked on 2 cars in our family within the last month or two and will be our regular mechanic! He’s very honest and fair
They took my daughter’s 13 Impreza with a blown engine and installed a new one in less than a week. The price is right and the job is guaranteed! Trustable mechanic and customer service! Will definitely use again!
These guys are great!
I have been using Mike for close to 20 years. He is honest, timely and reasonable with his work. More than twice has he saved me $100s from other estimates. He will work on just about anything. I have referred dozens of people to him including family. Rod Batchelor
Easy to locate. Business hours upon disclosure approval by owner. Studio D, very attractive display of availability on lucrativ4 merchandise. Updated today., Thursday 10 August 2017. Valley Hi. Valley hood. Priceless!
Recommend by my friend. Good service.
I love this place because they not only do a great job but they dont try and sell you things you dont need like so many other auto shops. You can always expect honesty and reasonable prices.
I recently purchased my kids cars for Christmas, Mike and Austin handled the oil changes and check out to makes sure the cars engines were ok: 2 BMWs and a Chrysler Pacifica. They have been in the business a while and will treat you honest and fair. Thanks Guys!!
Awesome, honest, mechanic.. I will not take my car anywhere else!!!
Wish I could say something that hasnt already been said. Austin and Mike are two of the few people I have met who actually do their job above and beyond well.
These guys do a great job at servicing cars and are extremely honest and fair priced. Would definitely recommend!
Repaired my brakes for $1000 cheaper than what I was quoted from Brakes Plus. Cannot recommend them enough.
Great service, my family and I have been going to Mike for years, and will continue to go to his shop for years to come!
Great service, very professional good location
Theyve helped me numerous time!Fast, Professional, Courteous, and Honest!
Honest mechanic what more can be said
